In the 1940s, as the world stood divided by war, Charles Henri's View magazine, together with the talents of European & American artistic communities, almost single-handedly helped define the avant-garde movement in this country & established New York as a world art center. View: Parade of the Avant-Garde is the first anthology to present the work of this remarkable, but too often forgotten, cultural vanguard. Notable contributors to View magazine include: Jorge Luis Borges, Paul Bowles, Andri Breton, Alexander Calder, Albert Camus, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Georgia O'Keeffe, Henry Miller, Marianne Moore, Isamu Noguchi, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, Jean-Paul Sartre, Yves Tanguy, & many others. "View is the impossible magazine of the arts no one could have dreamed."--William Carlos Williams. "There are few wicked people who are divine, that is, divinely gifted for wickedness & Charles Henri must be the first of them."--Norman Mailer. "The aim of View was not to shock, but to surprise."--Paul Bowles, from his foreword. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

As surrealism struggled to sustain its spark in the 1940s, View --the avant-garde magazine edited by poet Ford--attracted many of the most vital writers and artists of the period. A feast of riches, this illustrated anthology spanning the years 1940-1947 includes prose by Max Ernst, Henry Miller, Andre Breton, Paul Bowles and William Carlos Williams; valuable, fresh essays on Marcel Duchamp, Fernand Leger, Federico Garcia Lorca, Yves Tanguy and Pavel Tchelitchew; and poems by e.e. cummings, Wallace Stevens and Lawrence Durrell, to name a few. As this roster suggests, View's scope went beyond surrealism, embracing many emigre talents who clustered in New York and reproducing artwork by Picasso, Miro, Brancusi, Chagall. Also here are Sartre on the nationalization of literature, Wallace Fowlie on existentialist theater, Paul Goodman on eros. View crackles with verve and originality. First serial to Vanity Fair.

From Library Journal
This is an anthology of work appearing in View , the influential avant-garde magazine devoted to the arts, literature, and ideas that was published between 1940 and 1947. Selections include fiction, prose, interviews, letters, and criticism of art and literature, often in a surrealist or existential vein, that were calculated to stimulate, shock, surprise, entertain, or provoke. Almost 50 years later, these selections retain their freshness and sense of discovery, thus contributing to our understanding of the cultural climate during the war years. Contributors include Marc Chagall, Jean-Paul Sartre, Max Ernst, William Carlos Williams, Vaslav Nijinsky, Man Ray, Henry Miller, and other American and European intellectuals. This volume will appeal mainly to scholars and specialists.
